Nokia introduced several new smartphones in the US this month, including the rugged XR21 with an “indestructible” build. Soon, HMD Global may launch a new affordable smartphone in the G series, called Nokia G42 5G. The smartphone was recently spotted on the Geekbench website, running Android 13 and an unknown Qualcomm processor.
The Nokia G42 was recently spotted on
Geekbench with its key specifications. The handset was listed on the
benchmarking site with quad core Qualcomm processor with a base frequency of
1.90 GHz. There’s also a fast cluster of two cores, clocked at 2.21 Ghz. While
we don’t know the exact name of this processor, it is expected to be a lower
mid-range SoC.
This is further evidenced by the running
score. The Nokia G42 has managed to score 738 in single-core tests and 1718 in
multi-core tests. The Geekbench listing further suggests that the smartphone
gets at least 4GB of RAM and runs the Android 13 software out of the box. This
is all the information we get from the present listing.
Previous reports claim the Nokia G42 will
also have a 6GB RAM variant with 128GB of built-in storage. The smartphone
could boast a screen resolution of 1612*720 and be available in purple and gray
color options. Other details about the smartphone are still anyone’s guess. We
hope to learn more in the coming days.
As we mentioned above, Nokia recently
unveiled the rugged XR21 smartphone in the US with MIL-STD 810H military-grade
durability, IP68-rated waterproofing, and IP69K-certification dust resistance.
It comes powered by the Snapdragon 695 processor, coupled with 6GB RAM and
128GB onboard storage.
